I have. Tk is pretty much ruled out becuase it doesn't look like a windows application. This might sound harsh, but it makes sense for us. I have experimented with Tk, I sent a small app to a client and he was frustrated by the file open dialog as it had a 'home' button that didn't work and you couldn't choose a disk/networked drive.

wxPerl looks promising but the lack of documentation is a factor. I'm also not sure if I'm that keen on creating forms without a GUI. The Visual Studio.NET GUI is very slick

I actually found that today, but couldn't get the code to work. I wanted a widget that could select a directory. Eventually I found some code that got a Tk::DirTree and worked ok (linked towards the bottom of that page). The main problem I have is that Tk programs look icky. Tk::DirSelect looks really amateur compared to today's graduated fills, recessed buttons etc on win32.
